Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."
"We use Webex for virtual meetings."
"It is user-friendly."
"It is a valuable solution for virtual meetings."
"I have found Webex to be stable."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that you can host presentations with a lot of attendees."
"The chat and meeting scheduling features in Webex are most valuable for our team's productivity."
"Lag-free video communication and virtual meeting software which runs smoothly."
 

Cons

"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"If they could figure out a little better solution for the iOS stuff other than just a screen share, even though it's an Apple thing, and Apple doesn't like to give up control of their devices. If they ever got to that point, and I could manipulate an iPad or iPhone, that would be awesome. Since we have a bunch of iPad users who are struggling with doing different things, it would be nice to be able to just jump on and actually show them, "Here, do this, this, and this." Similar to what we do with the laptops, e.g. for training."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps."
"I think Webex could be improved by simplifying the process. For instance, they could make it easier to join meetings by providing a direct meeting link without requiring sign-ups or logins. While security is important, finding a balance with user-friendliness is key."
"An opportunity they could benefit from would be a version that includes meeting transcription. I usually use a third-party product to do transcription."
"The performance of WebEx could be improved. If you're using it on a mobile device and on the laptop, you sometimes get glitches, where you've answered the call or joined a meeting on a laptop and your mobile device doesn't quite know what's going on. It may just be technical glitches, but it seems to be a bit shaky sometimes on mobile devices."
"The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed."
"The modification of the email template is not very intuitive."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"The product's price could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"The solution is low-cost for a hybrid model."
"My organization took care of the licensing. I'm guessing they did some subscription cycle, but I used the free version."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"Webex is a cheaply priced tool."
"I use the free version, not the enterprise version. The only compelling reason to go for paid WebEx pay is if you're hosting large meetings."
"I have recently switched to a different solution. WebEx is more costly. There are equivalent solutions at a lower cost."
"There is a license needed to use this solution."

It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI.
